Comment on: "Metabolic comparison of One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass,Single-Anastomosis Duodenal-Switch, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, and Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy in rat" September 21, 2018

We have read with great interest the study by Arble et al. investigating the most commonly used metabolic procedures including the one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), the single anastomosis duodenal switch (SADI-S), the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and the vertical sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in an animal model (REF Manuscript). Animal models help with the understanding of […]

Comment on: Greater Curvature as a Gastric Pouch for Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Novel Bariatric Procedure. Feasibility Study in a Canine Model. September 20, 2018

Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for obesity and is increasingly being accepted as a therapy and cure for type 2 diabetes [1,2]. Even though clinical evidence continues to mount, the mechanisms underlying these powerful operations continue to be incompletely understood.

The effect of bariatric surgery on the direct oral anticoagulant rivaroxaban: the extension study September 19, 2018

Background: Thromboembolic disease is a potentially serious complication in bariatric surgery patients. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) have been investigated in orthopedic surgery patients. DOAC data after bariatric surgery is still limited to the early postsurgical period. Whether postsurgical mid-term adaptations due to anatomical and physiological alterations influence drug pharmacology is currently not known.Objective: The aim […]

Individualized Metabolic Surgery (IMS) Score September 18, 2018

As a step toward personalized approach in bariatric and metabolic surgery, the individualized metabolic surgery (IMS) score categorizes patients with type 2 diabetes into three stages of severity to guide surgical procedure selection. The model was generated and externally validated based on the largest reported cohort of patients with diabetes (n=900) and long-term (≥5 years) […]
